He Is In Control Of This Whole Crazy Mess, What Do We Have To Worry About?

So I was reading Psalms 46 the other night and it was very, very encouraging for me so I wanted to share it with ya'all.  It is talking about how God is in control of everything.  This world is a crazy mess, its full of death, darkness, sin, grief, despair, lonelyness and many other problems.  But through it all we know God is in control.  This gives me an incredible peace and serenity in the midst of all my personal issues.  I know that no matter what God has a plan in my life and puts nothing in front of me that I cannot handle.  He helps me through it and uses my problems to make me stronger, to make me a better person and if I depend on Him, to draw me closer to Him.  He uses everything for good.  This comforts me so much, knowing that no matter how hard they try to be, satan and his minions are not in control.  The evil people of this world can plan their plans and scheme their schemes, but if its not in Gods plan, they cannot accomplish anything.  So with God being in control what do we have to worry about?  Bring on troubles!  Bring on Trials!  Bring on tribulation!  Because I can do anything through Christ, I can stand fast in the face of the storm and weather everything life has to throw at me because God is by my side.  I just wanted to share this with you guys and I hope that it gives you the same peace it gives me!

I agree totally with you about God being in control, and therefore we should turn all our anxiety over to Him. I would however add to that "Bring on troubles, bring on trials, bring on tribulation"
I will not ask for it, but only will ask God to give me the help I need when He brings trouble into my life.
